Background: In facing sports competitions, good training camps are required, such as programs, service quality, and finances, which can affect athlete motivation and satisfaction. Individual and team sports athletes participated in the national championship training camp in Yogyakarta. Purpose: This study aims to analyze (1) the effect of finance on motivation in individual and team sports; (2) the effect of finance on satisfaction in individual and team sports; (3) the quality of service on motivation in individual and team sports; (4) service quality on satisfaction in individual and team sports. It is quantitative research with a survey to find the relationship between variables. Approach: This study uses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the PLS approach, two ways of testing: (1) the hypothesis of the relationship between variables using Smart-PLS software and obtaining the inner model output from the bootstrapping process. (2) differences using Multi-Group Analysis (MGA) using Smart-PLS. The number of athletes participating in this study was 137 athletes. The sample size consisted of 31 team and individual sports. The research subjects were all sports athletes participating in training camps in Yogyakarta. Data were analyzed using SPSS.25 software and Smart PLS-SEM (Correlation and linear regression among indicators-variables). Result: The scales or indicators and items used to assess the variable-indicator relationships in this research were valid because they have a loading factor value greater than 0.5. The AVE value is higher than 0.5 and 0.4. Reliability value composite reliability ≥ 0.7. The motivation is influenced by exogenous variables, namely 0.27 or 27%. However, the remaining 73% is outside of this study. The satisfaction variable is influenced by exogenous variables by 0.67 or 67%, and the remaining 33% is outside this study. The model in this study reached 0.25 for the goodness of fit (GoF) value. It is in the medium category. The empirical data fits the model. Therefore, there is no difference between the models, and they fit. Conclusion: This research provides in-depth insight into athlete experiences across individual sports and team sports, considering service quality and financial factors. The results of this research present a rich and multidimensional understanding of how these aspects interact and impact the athlete experience, which can contribute to developing better strategies and policies in the world of sport. © JPES.
